The problem is, the "new system" is absolutely dire (from a customer perspective). Yes it's bright, shiny and new, but it's also as slow as molasses in winter and horrendously unreliable.
I've lost count of the number of times I've asked the local Maplin to special-order a component they know damn well isn't in stock, but (they claimed) the EPOS system wouldn't let them order the part until the next stock-take confirmed it was out of stock.
I used to be able to pick something off the shelf, pay and be out in five minutes. Now it takes that just for them to ring it through EPOS...
If anyone in the UK wants a copy of the Firefly DVDs, Virgin Megastores are selling the Firefly DVD set for £19.99, vs. £26.99 at Amazon UK (with a 2-week wait). No relation to VM, except as a satisfied customer.
Got my copy on Thursday night and I've been slowly working my way through the episodes. I'm hooked:)
